Can somebody that has been following the Raps closer and for longer than I remind me about Humphries' first stint with Toronto?

I remember him coming across as just a big guy without hands or skill, and I remember thinking that he's not going to amount to anything. Did we let him go as a Free agent? Did he show glimpses of potential during his time in Toronto? What allowed him to turn his career around and become a halfway decent starter?

I personally loved Hump on the Raptors. He tried his ass of every single minute. Reminded me of how Amir plays now. I was actually sad to see him go. Now, after his big contract, and Kardashian crap, I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole.
